Articles about Ken Barrington
Profile:
Ken Barrington was a tenacious right handed batsman, with an aptitude of scoring
runs when the conditions were most difficult. His method was based on a very
solid defence, and stready accumulation of runs, although he was a powerful
hitter. He was a capable leg break bowler, but erratic, and a good fieldsman,
notably in the slips. Reliable no 5. Had all the strokes but strongest in
defense, and sometimes a slow scorer. Predominantly a backfoot player. Useful
change bowler of leg breaks, expensive in tests. Good fielder, not a specialist
but fast in the outfield. Died whilst on tour in the West Indies whilst managing
the England team.
(David Liverman, Jan 1998)
